Current pace-setter mimiziemann advanced to 33 games courtesy of Adrian Gonzalez last night, which puts her squarely in line for a move up the season leaderboard if she can survive the weekend. Just to help out, we’ve provided the answer key to your Friday-Sunday test below.

Careful on the Rangers in Toronto tonite. the late night flight and getting through customs might have gotten them to the hotel about 4-5 AM or later, in the past this affected them in the first game of the series coming from so far away

Figured I’d post something here now that I have a pretty good streak going and say what’s up. Been following for about a year now and enjoy all the facts and figures the blog has to offer.
I’ve been sticking with Pedey for most of the current streak but I think it ends today or tomorrow night. Going with Jacoby instead for a 15 gamer

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 8 with streak of 15 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 15.96% with CARL CRAWFORD reseting the most.
There was also 16.8% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either,8.96% —> 224 picks of these were intentional DL/inj picks.

Strikeout leading off the 8th, and another strikeout to end the game.
O fer 5 has given me my 11th O fer of July. I think this is definitely my worst month playing Beat the Streak. 61 is now the number of days left for me.

I’ve got a Met for my pick right now also. I’m not concerned about WSH pen vs. Mets hitters. If they throw tomorrow’s pitcher in though, similar numbers. My alternate is in CLE. Unfortunately NYM game is 7 hours after games lock. Will be mulling this over for a bit myself

Note that if you are feeling really uncomfortable with the prospect that Mets will face a new pitcher every 2-3 innings, you may want to sit today out. Don’t know of any players going on DL today, but rotoworld reported: Cruz (quad), Hamilton, Andrus have day off today

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 7 with streak of 15 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 33.88% with PEDROIA reseting the most.
There was also 23.95% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either,8.77% —> 217 picks of these were intentional DL/inj picks.

Reyes left on deck 0-4. Funny/sad thing is that he killed both of my 10-gamers while opposing the same team — what are those odds?
As I go cursing/tumbling back down to the cellar, I can only take a little solace knowing I’ll be tripping over the leader on my way down. Hope not to see some of you down there anytime soon.

SFTC monthly 50k prize is gonna come down to the wire. Currently 2 tied at 19 but there’s also another at 18 right now with a soccer pick that’s close to being correct. Should be a good finish tonight.

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 4 with streak of 16 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 38.26% with JOSE REYES reseting the most.
There was also 12.09% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either,9.32% —> 231 picks of these were intentional DL/inj picks.

Well based on how July has gone I’m not surprised for it to end on another O fer which makes 12. Three of these were 0 for 1s Joe Mauer on 7/15 with 3 walks, Carl Crawford PH on 7/28 and today Derek Jeter goes 0 for 1 and then gets hit by a pitch in his 2nd PA and removed from the game. There are only 59 game-days left.
I’m so happy that July is over. My luck was horrible! :(
